Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi has finally deleted his exit poll mockery tweet, which featured Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Salman Khan. The actor, who earlier refused to apologise claiming that he didn't see anything offensive in his post, now tweeted saying, "Sometimes what appears to be funny and harmless at first glance to one, may not be so to others. I have spent the last 10 years empowering 2,000 underprivileged girls, I can't even think of being disrespectful to any woman ever. sic)"
He further stated, "Even if one woman is offended by my reply to the meme, it calls for remedial action. Apologies. Tweet deleted. Sic." Vivek Oberoi was criticised by celebrities and social media users after he shared a viral meme, that referred to Salman and Aishwarya's relationship as the 'opinion poll', Vivek and Aishwarya's affair as the 'exit poll' and her current family with husband Abhishek and daughter Aaradhya as the 'final result.'
Actress Sonam Kapoor was the first celebrity to slam Oberoi for the meme, calling it, "disgusting and classless. (sic)" Director Madhur Bhandarkar also tweeted, "Dear @vivekoberoi, never expected such tweet from u. The trolls may go to any extent and make memes but u as a responsible celebrity should be careful of hurting anyone's dignity. Would request u to apologize and delete the tweet... (sic)."
